Facing the Arabian Sea, the coastline of Goa extends up to 160 km. Goa is famous for its nightline, clubbing and cultural structure. The heritage is very different from the rest of the Indian states. This is because Portugal architecture still stays alive here. Some ships and cruises give you an amazing experience of the Goan culture. The shopping and flea markets are very reasonable. The population of Goa is also considerably less, which keeps a good space for tourists to drop by.
